Could getting a pap smear done to tell me why i don't have a period anymore?

No: PAP smear is not an appropriate test for lack of periods. Secondary ammenorrhea is usually due to hormonal changes and blood tests may be needed. See this site for information on this topic. http://www.webmd.boots.com/women/tc/amenorrhoea-causes-of-absent-periods
