Default Unsure about my egg- run of bad luck

Hi all please can you have a look at this egg. I've had a bad year so far and have lost quite a few babies (dis). Unsure why, possibly incubator temp may have shot up 😢 . Anyway this egg is day 47 has looked fine up til now when I'm starting to have doubts due to the others failing. Last year was so successful and I'm having a rotten time this year. Two pics shown from front and back of egg

Although there are still veins visible the developing tortoise like a bit grainy in the pics, might suggest problems. What issues have been having? Dead in shell? Hatching early?

Thanks. Guess there's nothing I can do either?
Out of ten eggs only one hatched.the rest seemed to die in their shells just before hatching or were born with veryyyy marshmallow soft shells and didn't survive. I've done nothing different from last year so it's a bit odd and a bit sad �� I hope this little guy is ok
