I think you are talking about 6 April and not May right? Judging by these pictures I would say she is not gravid. Best case is that she was vertilized at the third attempt but she would look very massive today.
 
yeah her whole body look same sixe throughout, you nevr know she just may be annoying you and storing sperm, did you witness a succesful hookup?
 
keep the nesting box in there! thats exactly what happened to me! she didn't look gravid or any bigger than normal. the change in size must have been really gradual,because i didn't see any signs physically,but her behaviour gave her away! even the day before she laid,i couldn't feel any eggs. she just surprised me one day! she even had me doubting the fact that she was gravid! i guess i was relying on her body to change drasticly,instead of focussing on her behaviour. i reckon yours will surprise you one day. the other possibility is that she has reabsorbed the eggs. keep the nest box in there and wait,i know you've probably waited ages already,but it's all you can do! :)

sje culd be either, may not look it but is, but if shes not she could be storing sperm, but like snake 5007 said, keep a nest box in there, she could suprise yuo!!!
 
She could be holding the sperm ' my female mated around that date and has just laid 11 eggs. It was her first time and I saw no real weight change only in the last week and she was very active and she didn't feed for 3 weeks ,is yours feeding. Be patient I had the same worries ,complete supprise yesterday morning as I found her laying .good luck

I don't think she has been holding on to the eggs for 7 years. :laugh:
