Just that really. Has anyone had them done on a weekend and how long did the results take. I'm sure we're clear but it's been 24 hrs now so starting to worry.

I had mine on a Sunday lunchtime and results by 9am on the Monday.

BlodwynBludd · 16/08/2020 13:45

Thanks, maybe it'll come tomorrow morning then.

Had one yesterday at 10am but it's not back yet.

curcurbita · 16/08/2020 13:59

I had one at 11am yesterday and also not back... looking at the other threads most people seem to have had a quicker turnaround than that.

Done Sunday afternoon, results texted through about 7am the next day

ihearttc · 16/08/2020 14:08

DH had one yesterday at 11am and it was back at exactly 11am this morning, so literally 24 hours!

BlodwynBludd · 16/08/2020 14:36

Sounds like a slow weekend then. I've been checking my emails but do the results come on text messages?

Friday PM test, phone call Sunday morning (-ve Scotland)

ruby29 · 16/08/2020 14:53

My daughter had test last Saturday 4pm.
Result sent out by text and email 11.30am on Sunday.

Greengrapes1357 · 16/08/2020 15:04

Ds had his last Sunday at 11am. I had a phone call on Monday at 9:30am with the results.

PartnerInTime · 16/08/2020 15:22

We did ours at 3pm yesterday (Saturday)

My husband and I got results shortly after 7am Sunday. My daughters came later. Had a harder time with hers so skipped the throat swab and just did both nostrils as per instructions. Got hers shortly after 2pm Sunday. All negative 🥳

BlodwynBludd · 16/08/2020 15:44

It's been 26 hours now. I'm hoping that doesn't mean a +ve.

I’ve just asked the same question before I saw your post. I had mine at midday yesterday but not heard anything yet. Obsessively checking my phone.
I guess it varies by region, I’m in the south west, where are you?

Zandra123 · 16/08/2020 18:39

My son had one yesterday morning too and still haven't heard. He's quarantined himself in his room feeling rough , but once we know for sure at least it will be less stressful.

OpheliasCrayon · 16/08/2020 19:12

Was 16 hours for us : Friday to Saturday morning 4am

BlodwynBludd · 16/08/2020 20:00

I'm south east and I got it 27 hours later.

My son had a test last Sunday (7:30pm) he received the results lunchtime Monday.

He had to be tested again (unclear result) and had one mid afternoon Monday and got the results about 8am Tuesday (negative).

This is in London (I guess processing times may vary by region).

curcurbita · 17/08/2020 07:24

Finally got mine after 36 hours - test 11am Saturday, result by email 11pm Sunday.
