depends where in the country/world you are. i'm in scotland and they generally take anything from 2-6 weeks for the result to come back...depends if GP sent it or hospital and if a laboratory near you can do the test or if blood sample needs sent elsewhere.

I'm in staffordshire and was originally told 7 to 10 days, but in reality, it took 10 weeks (they botched the 1st test up)

2-3 weeks if going private

Give them a month, but if they don't have them ready keep ringing every couple of days. It has happpened to us twie in the past that the blood sample got lost in the system or that the test needed to be repeated but someway nobody had informed us about that...,
