Anyone had PCR results come through at different times?

My DH, DD and I all had PCR tests at drive in centre yesterday. Their results have come through but there’s no sign of mine yet. Has anyone else had this?! I’m feeling a bit anxious about it because my DH’s was positive (as expected) and I’m now desperately trying not to catch it so isolation ends by Christmas.
I’m a bit worried that putting my phone number for my test as well as DD’s might have confused things?

Yes by a couple of hours

me and DH did at the same time - his came through very quickly and he was positive. 12 hours later, I still hadn't heard anything. When I rang the helpline, they said that it's not unusual for positive results to be received quicker. I have no idea how/why that is unless it's that all the positives go to the top of the notification queue perhaps? As it turned out, she was right, mine was negative.

Yes, this has happened to us. My daughter had her test the day before the rest of us, but they all came back on the same day (24hrs for us, 48hrs for hers). I also had a test with my daughter last week, and mine was 5hrs later.

Just to add, my daughter’s initial test was positive.

Yes, positive tests came back first, negatives were 3 hours later

HerbertChops · 15/12/2021 16:06

And all results came to my phone as was me and dc testing

Yes, DH's (negative) came through within 12 hours and mine (void) followed 2 days after his. I hope this doesn't happen to you as it's a PITA.

Oh god I hope mine isn’t void sad]
Ok thanks, I feel a bit better now!

Yes, two (negatives) came through 6am, one (positive) at 2.30 that afternoon. I don’t think you can read much into it though.

Me and my 7yo had tests at 11.30 last Saturday. His came in at 9am on Sunday, mine at 10.30am.
