It may be due to the fact the the eggs might be duds-infertile.
Did you candle them and see a red ring inside? That's the "magic cheerio" or the spot in the egg where the growing baby is attached to the inside of the shell. Kinda like the placenta for a mammal.
If you've seen the "magic cheerio", it's fertile, and NOT a dud, and your problem is most likely too much water in the hatching medium.
You can very gently tip the hatch box/blow to allow most of the water to drain, if you remove the eggs first, and then use the lid to keep the medium from pouring out.

Most likely they are just duds as SamanthaJane pointed out. This is very common with first time breeders so don't be discouraged if they are. Also, don't ever get the eggs wet directly, don't spray them or anything like that.

I have a female who's been in with a male for months now (since beginning of spring)
She's consistently laid duds every thirty days, they have good shape, good calcium. Her weight is good almost 50g.
I recently moved her in with a new male by herself so maybe there well be a change, we'll see.
Don't feel discouraged though. I've had a female who hasn't even laid eggs and I've had her a year in with males. Well two weeks ago she finally laid two healthy fertile eggs =]
