We sent ours off on Monday after my son had symptoms. They said results on 2-5 days. I wonder which is most likely.

Sorry, just seen that you said home test in the title... Hope you hear back soon!

Quartz2208 · 06/01/2021 16:11

2 days just before Xmas

BabyStarling · 06/01/2021 20:26

I posted mine at 8am on Monday - nothing yet.

theresnoonequitelikegrandma · 06/01/2021 20:33

We posted ours on Monday and no results yet - this thread is actually quite reassuring! Please post when you get your results 🤞

BananaPop2020 · 06/01/2021 20:36

About 40 hours from posting

Mummyofboys88 · 06/01/2021 20:37

Posted tests on Saturday afternoon. One came back Monday night 11pm, the other Tuesday night at around the same time.

annonxx · 06/01/2021 20:38

Posted Friday early afternoon got the results 10pm Monday night

toodleloooo · 06/01/2021 20:39

Appreciate it's a few weeks back now, but I posted one on 21 Dec and heard back (after chasing) late on 26 Dec. Hang in there! I remember promising myself to only check again after a few hours had passed because I was spending all day refreshing my emails 😅

desperatelyseeking1 · 06/01/2021 20:42

Had two tests over last few months, home kit took 3-4 days and walk through was next day.

Restorationandredecoration · 07/01/2021 07:22

Any progress for the others on this thread who sent tests off this week? Still nothing here which means another day we can’t leave the house, another day I can’t work and another day the kids will all go insane!

I sent posted mine on Tuesday ... I was hoping I’d get the results today. Fingers crossed!

Adviceneededalways · 07/01/2021 07:39

We received and sent ours back off on Tuesday (early afternoon) and really hopeful we get either today or or tomorrow as DC are going stir crazy...

Isolation makes lockdown feel like a holiday camp!!!

Adviceneededalways · 07/01/2021 07:41

Also for those of you that received back is it more likely to come in email form (our pack said email or text) and is there a more likely time of day they will contact?

theresnoonequitelikegrandma · 07/01/2021 08:43

My husband got his (negative) result back this morning by email + text but I've heard nothing yet.....both tests posted by me at exactly the same time!

Restorationandredecoration · 07/01/2021 09:55

@theresnoonequitelikegrandma that was a test he sent on Monday right? There is hope for us today then. Weird you have not got yours though. Let us know when you do.

OP posts:
Castlecould · 07/01/2021 16:11

Received my result about this time (4pm) the day after I posted the test. Email and text came though at same time.

RosettaR · 07/01/2021 16:22

I took one on Monday and got the results today. It came in email and text. I've had three covid tests now and it seems they can come at any time of day.

Restorationandredecoration · 07/01/2021 17:46

Still no sign here. I’m getting worried they lost mine as other Monday results on this thread seem to be through.

Ugh. I feel like we will never be allowed to leave the house at this rate.

theresnoonequitelikegrandma · 07/01/2021 18:28

Just got mine - positive 😢

Restorationandredecoration · 07/01/2021 20:08

We got ours too. Just 30 mins ago. Positive too. But it’s my son and his symptoms all went after 24 hours. I hope the rest of us don’t it. How are you feeling @theresnoonequitelikegrandma ?
