How long for results?!

Hi

I wondered how long others have waited for results recently? I'm currently on 3.5 days and counting... Sad

5.5 days, then a call to say it was inconclusive. Waiting to be re tested 😏

BigGreen · 12/01/2021 23:32

We got ours in 13 hours!

This is what I'm fearing! I was gagging so badly I'm worried I didn't do the test well Sad

Few tests here with various members of the family all in London:

From 26 hours to 5.5 days.

Seems to be pot luck!

Frownette · 13/01/2021 04:31

The previous 2 were about one day of when they should have received it back (home test). I did one yesterday which should be back with the lab later this morning, so I'm playing the waiting game again.

3.5 days seems a long time, was it drive through/walk in centre? Or home test?

If it's home test, is it 3.5 days from when they should have received it back or 2.5?

Completely understand the impatience!

34 hours here. Walk through centre in London.

MangoM · 13/01/2021 06:38

Bang on 24 hours here.
Tested on Monday morning at a West Yorkshire walk in.

VolvoEagle · 13/01/2021 06:43

I was tested at a drive through centre in Surrey. I hadn't received my results after 3 days, so I called to chase. They finally agreed to investigate on day 5, and I got my result later that day.

DAC21 · 13/01/2021 07:03

20 hours, South East drive through

So sorry to hear people waiting for days, that's horrible!

Distiller91 · 13/01/2021 07:06

Mine were almost dead on 48 hours later
I hope you get them soon!

FromTheAshes · 13/01/2021 07:07

I've had 10 tests, all came back within 36-48hrs, but my test on Monday at midday came back at 11pm the same night! Got to be a record, surely?

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 13/01/2021 07:08

Tested at 0900 yesterday and results back at 0200 this morning (negative). Walk through centre.

user2021 · 13/01/2021 07:13

Home test posted Monday, results on Thursday (about 3 weeks ago).

Thanks @Frownette , it was a walk in test. I chose it as id heard locally that people who'd been there had got the results back quickly..! DS1 had a drive through test 2.5 weeks ago and it came back 39 hours later

It's just frustrating having the time off work possibly unnecessarily Sad

This was a few days ago. Postal test ordered Saturday afternoon, delivered by Royal Mail on Sunday afternoon. Posted Sunday afternoon, results 21 hours later at 12pm on Monday.

Bigkingdom · 13/01/2021 08:16

I posted my test Monday lunchtime, still waiting.

Mydogisagentleman · 13/01/2021 08:20

I test weekly for work. The results have varied from 14 hours to 3 days.
All postal

Tiktokersmiracle · 13/01/2021 08:23

Berkshire, in November, DD had one which we got through the post. Taken Tuesday, sent back before midday, results on Wednesday at 7.30pm. I was rather impressed (was negative as well).

Birthdayhat · 13/01/2021 08:51

11 hours here yesterday! Test at 9am, results at 8pm - in the East Midlands. Drive through test centre, there were other people there but not loads.

HUCKMUCK · 13/01/2021 09:09

West Sussex walk in site - tested at 1.30pm on day one and got results at 11.30 am on day 2. I didn't see anyone else when I was there.

I guess it depends on how busy the lab that's processing them is.

Acidrain · 13/01/2021 11:07

Tested at 12 Monday, results at 6am Tuesday

Lockdowndramaqueen · 13/01/2021 11:13

Waiting right now, nearly 48hrs - drive through SE.

frustrationcentral · 13/01/2021 11:39

Now at 4 days and still nothing. 3 days of missed work and more of a worry for us is that my FIL is very ill in hospital so currently if DH gets a call to go up he won't be able to go Sad. I just want to know!

5 days to get a negative result. Isolating the whole time. Infuriating.
