Try chaning out your incubation medium and lay box medium. I have a female that will use the lay box as a bathroom between clutches and she keeps me on my toes, trying to keep it clean.

Make sure there isn't too much moisture in the egg container.

Tell us a little about your hatching methods. What medium, temps, incubator, etc.
Also, sometimes new breeders go through a period of 'getting it right'. It is not uncommon to have a new female produce unfertile eggs the first few lays.

I try to follow Albeys incubation method.
Perlite/Water ratio 1:0.8
And my incubator is a Hovabator.
