Advice needed...did I lose them all?

The LG is very well known for these types of poor hatches that your having, I would keep trying to hatch but perhaps another incubator can ease your mind and actually hatch the eggs. Sorry your having a poor hatch don't give up, they have a thread going that is supposed to help the those unfortunate enough to own an LG. maybe it can help I don't know if they talk about way's to fix or improve the LG to actually hatch something or if it is just a support group for those who have lost so many eggs, but there may be something there you can use.

I have an LG, still air and I hand turned... I maintained the temp at 99.5 and humidity at 40% til day 18 when I increased it to 70%. I have 33 eggs on day 20 pipping, chirping and rocking. This is the second batch I've hatched in my LG.The first batch I had a 100% hatch rate. I've had NO issues with it.

I think the LG requires constant monitoring, which we are compulsive about so that might have something to do with it. Who knows. I do know that my first batch hatched late, day 23 & 24 most likely due to it being a still air and the temp being at 99.5. From what I've read it probably should have been at a degree higher. Oh and I actually have two LG's the other has a staggered hatch on Day 10 and Day 5, all still developing on target.
