Jumping spider egg sac, fertile or infertile?

Hi! I'm new to this forum and was hoping for a little help, I bought an adult female jumping spider from the spider shop.co.uk on the 16th of may 2019 (called luna) on Tuesday i noticed that her abdomen was really big and she'd started making a nest, the next day when I checked she'd laid eggs, when I bought her they did say their was a chance that she'd mated and I know they can store fertilisation but with it being so long im thinking are they infertile? She also isn't guarding the eggs and i know they usually do? Thanks in advance, my first time dealing with eggs x

It's is quite a long time, I've just realised you got her last year not this. The chances are that it may well be an infertile sac in that case.
