I've only tried it once but basically I did the same thing at the end that I did all along - try not to check them very often (like once a week). Actually early on I was checking way too often trying to make sure the temps where right and may have stressed her out but I'm not sure that is why mine kicked an egg out.



Depending on how much time yours spent at the higher end (91F) she may be loosening up pending a hatch any time now (might also explain the one egg loosing adhesion from the rest). Dimpling normally happens by the end but in an extremely high humidity situation might not. Some feel that there is a danger of babies drowning in eggs that don't dehydrate by hatching but given that you have let nature take it's course this long I would be tempted to just sit back and watch. I bet everything will be just fine on it's own. Here is a pic of mine near the end.
