Anyone waiting for results?!

Daily negative lateral flows as per school request in the past week. All negative. Ds coughed in class on Monday. Not allowed back until negative pcr. Pcr yesterday at 8am. Still waiting for results. Do you think it’s lost ? People seem to get results in hours

I’ve just been for a test this morning and they said 24-48 hours to me. Seemed busy so maybe it’s taking longer?

I’ve never heard anyone actually getting it in hours. All of ours have taken over a day but less than 2 days.

We went at 9.30 yesterday

Mine came back at 8 am but still waiting for dds test result

Wish it hurry you, hoping to take her into school today!

Lulu1919 · 01/12/2021 10:06

I had one at 11 am yesterday got results at 8 am
They told me 12 to 72 hours but most were 24 hours
It's busy out there !!

Did PCR for ds and myself yesterday at 12:45. Still waiting. They usually come back between 18-30 hours after we've taken them. Like a pp I'm hoping that the result hurries up and arrives soon so ds can go to nursery. He's climbing the walls here.

MrsPear · 01/12/2021 10:09

Ok so no panic yet then. Thanks

Posted mine first thing Monday morning and still waiting... hoping I get result today! Been poorly with a sore throat and cough but negative lfts so hoping it's just a bug!

superstar84 · 01/12/2021 11:13

I've never had to wait this long before! Wish they'd hurry up

Seems strange that we had them done at the same time and hers still isn't back

Hope it's not a sign it's positive 👀

Beebopawhop · 01/12/2021 11:16

Did one PCR Sunday 10am and got it back 6am Monday so sent DS to school but then had to get other DS one done yesterday at 130pm and still waiting...he's climbing the walls too (also kept negative DS at home as didn't want to drag the one we are waiting for to drop off as didn't want potential spread!)

Juanbablo · 01/12/2021 11:20

Ds2 had a test on Sunday and we are still waiting! He is actually much better and LFTs negative but he can't go back to school until the PCR is back and negative. This means I can't go to work and dh is away. It's been a real pain.

Juanbablo · 01/12/2021 11:22

Every other time anyone has had a test we have had results the next day. Dh had a test at the same time as ds2 and got the results on Monday so I think ds's test did not get registered properly. They won't give me any info until 72 hours after the test.

JorisBonson · 01/12/2021 11:22

Yes, still waiting. PCR at 0930 yesterday. Annoying cough, sore throat and feeling a tad under the weather but all LFT's negative 🤞

Ifonlyidknownthen · 01/12/2021 11:42

Took ds this morning, told could be 3 days as it's busy atm, I'm hoping not

Ring 119 with the barcode and they can check if it's registered before the 72 hours.

This week: 1 test 2pm Sunday. Result 5am Monday
3 tests 10am Monday. Results 1am Tuesday

Pretty impressed with the speed. Longest we've had to wait was in the summer when it took 36 hours or so over a weekend.

superstar84 · 01/12/2021 13:55

I rang 119 and they hadn't registered my test when they scanned the qr code!

He did it on the phone for me and it instantly text and emailed

He said they rarely take longer than 24 hours so if it's been longer than that at a test centre then to try registering the barcode on the website

HerbertChops · 01/12/2021 15:57

We're waiting, DS was sent home from school Monday with headache, woke up with temperature yesterday so tested on pcr 3pm, not heard anything yet. All LFTs are negative. School set him up on homeschooling today so at least he's not missing anything while waiting.

CeeJay81 · 01/12/2021 16:07

Me and DH both had tests at 12.15pm yesterday, still waiting but I know someone who waited 3 days!

Roominmyhouse · 02/12/2021 07:32

Test at 9.30am yesterday and got my result via email at 3am! Negative fortunately.
