The pap smear looks at cells collected when the doc scrapes or brushes the opening of the uterus, called the cervix. Occasionally, depending on the method of collection, there aren't enough cells on the slide to make any kind of indentification. So the test must be repeated.
It is just bad luck there weren't any cells collected. I hope your next one goes well.
