If you *genuinely* tried your best but couldn’t fast due to some reason that was *out of your control*, for example you intended to fast during Ayyaam al-Beedh but you got your menses, or you fell sick, etc., then Allaah will reward you for your good intentions and you may even attain even more.
That’s because when a person forms a definite intention to do good deed, but something prevents him from doing that, he will still be rewarded for it.
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“No (believing) person gets sick, but (his deeds) will be recorded for him in accordance with what he used to do when he was well.” (al-Bukhaari)
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
"Whoever goes to his bed intending to get up and pray at night, then his eyes overwhelm him and (he sleeps) until morning, *the (reward for) that which he intended will be written for him*, and his sleep is a *charity* for him given by his Lord, Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.”
(al-Nasaa’i, 1787; Ibn Maajah, 1344; saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 601)
And the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam also said:
"Whoever sincerely asks Allaah for martyrdom will attain the status of the martyrs *even if he dies in his bed.”* (Muslim, 1909)
And Allaah knows best
