Had mine 24hrs ago. Still waiting for the result. I’m North West x

Itchinscratchin · 18/12/2021 08:47

My negative result came through this morning, after 60 hours and in the Midlands. I received the email 5 hours earlier than the text.

Spacecadetagain · 18/12/2021 08:49

Dds positive result arrived this morning after nearly 70 hours

Pl242 · 18/12/2021 09:09

So one of the 4 results we were waiting on has come back (negative). 24 hours. North London. Hoping the others come back soon.

Singalongsingsong · 18/12/2021 09:17

Dds result has come back negative after more than 90 hours. A bit annoying as she’s been needlessly self isolating.

Singalongsingsong · 18/12/2021 09:18

And they tested on Thursday so it’s taken them 2 days to send the results

Jericha · 18/12/2021 10:16

Just received them. 73 hours, negative, south west England.

MoreGinPlease2020 · 18/12/2021 10:30

Mine just came in. 73.5 hours. Negative thankfully.

DuchessMinnie · 18/12/2021 10:32

25 hours earlier this week via a drive-in test site. Positive result ☹️

DuchessMinnie · 18/12/2021 10:32

@mary246 I am on West Sussex- 25 hours from drive-in

Ifeellikedancing · 18/12/2021 10:41

Still waiting after 24 hours (Scotland), usually back in 12.

Inchagoill · 18/12/2021 10:44

Did you get your results OP?
We did 2 home kits posted Weds and arrived at lab Thurs 16th - one result back yesterday and still awaiting other result. Its frustrating because dd due to have her vaccination at 12 today but no result yet so will have to cancel it.

Pl242 · 18/12/2021 11:05

The next 2 of our batch have come back (both negative). 26 hour wait. North London. One more to go!

Flockameanie · 18/12/2021 11:18

22 hrs in Sussex. Tested 10ish am on Fri morning (at drive through) results back at 8.30ish am on Sat. Negative

notapineapple · 18/12/2021 11:19

Tested 4pm Thursday, still no result yet. Scotland

Timeisavirtue · 18/12/2021 14:48

86 hours - negative , sussex

Wow. Was this a postal test? I went a drive through site and I’ve been waiting 30 hours so far…
Pl242 · 18/12/2021 15:09

Last of ours has come through (negative). North London. So 24 hours for 1, 26 for 2 and 3 and 30 hours for the 4th. All negative.

Personally relieved and also impressed at speed given past experience and the fact the system must be under massive pressure.

Good luck to all waiting. Hope they come speedily and come back negative.

HoldingTheDoor · 18/12/2021 15:15

Family members got tested at a drive through test centre, yesterday at 11 and they got the results back at 1pm today.

Ifeellikedancing · 18/12/2021 18:07

36 hours (Scotland). Dp is still waiting on his though.

eggsandwich · 18/12/2021 21:16

We have a negative result this morning after 92 hours !!!

Postal pcr tests seem to be taking a lot longer given the circumstances I suppose its to be expected.

eggsandwich · 18/12/2021 21:17

Forgot to add I’m in Norfolk

wtftodo · 18/12/2021 21:22

Just had a negative through after 52 hours (postal, south east London). Waiting on two more. Positive took 63 hours earlier in the week

Orangesarenottheonlyfruit · 19/12/2021 10:52
