When you say they went off what so you mean exactly? Slugs, collapsed, moldy, just failed to hatch?

As for getting fatter again it isnt uncommon for corns to double clutch so they lay one clutch then if still heavy enough go straight into developing a second clutch.

yes its very possible.. its called double clutching. These are usually a lot smaller than the 1st one, so maybe expect about 7-8 eggs?.
dont take this the wrong way, it sounds as though you have not incubated correctly..
if the eggs were perfect, its very unusual to lose them all like that without human error.
how were they incubated? what substrate did you use?, what temps? what kind of incubator? what did you use to measure the temps?
what was the humidity?/ got any pics??
we can probably help you get the next lot right.
