Maybe add another filter, take out a couple of cups of water a day and stir up the waste so it goes into the filters more easily, and skip WC's altogether? You could try using bottled spring water, too...
Pygmaeus Fry

It very well might be them. I just had to run downstairs and look at the sesame seed on the bagels, the pygmaeus cory eggs are about half the size of a sesame seed. I think the other two strains of pygmy cory eggs are a bit bigger than the pygmaeus. Which ever strain they are, pygmy cory fry are among the smallest of all the fry. They will stay in the substrate and feed on microorganisms. The parent cories won't eat them but your other tank inhabitants might!
Yea, they're like mini-sesame seeds.
I'm hoping there are some fry down there. There really are a lot of places for them to hide.
Hopefully, I'll find some soon.

Oh, Debbi, I'm so sorry about the fry. Maybe just letting the water sit for 24 hours with an airstone? I know I read of "winter water" somewhere, I don't recall if it's more dissolved gases or what that causes problems.
I've just stumbled onto this thread and I have to say, your patience is more than commendable. You got another fan rooting for you and your fry!
Update
It's been a little over 3 weeks and I was finally able to snap a couple of pics of the little guy. He's pretty cute. I also have fry in the gravel again, maybe a week or two old now.
