If the questioner had not reached puberty during that period, then there is no blame upon her for breaking the fast, and no make-up fast is required of her, because fasting is not obligatory upon one who has not reached puberty. However, if she had reached puberty, then fasting is obligatory upon her, and she must make up for what she missed. If she does not know the number, then she should make up what she predominantly believes she missed.
