Anyone else have PCR yesterday (Tues) and no results yet?

I know they're mega busy. Just curious.
Had my PCR at a test site at 10am yesterday (Tues). No results still as of 2.30pm Weds.
The 2 tests I had done prior were both back within about 16hrs.
I know I have Covid as I've had a positive LF and I have every bloody symptom of it that you can think of Sad

I'm still waiting for 2 results from last Tuesday! Just isolate as you know you have it, hope you feel better soon

Ellie1311 · 29/12/2021 14:41

Our last ones took 43 hours. Ones before 36. We’ve had quite a few as partner had multiple positive LFTs but so far PCRs have been negative.

SNUG2022 · 29/12/2021 14:41

Me! My lfts are negative but I have all the symptoms. Can't remember the last time 8 felt so rough. I don't seem to be getting better.

i took mine at 9.30, results 11 am today x

We seem to have been really lucky, well lucky with the time it took to get results anyway. We had our test at 11am yesterday and (positive) results were in at 6 this morning.

Ours took four days, was back yesterday but maybe they will speed up now we are past the bank holidays.

Snap, my pcr appointment at the drive through testing centre was at 10am yesterday morning and I’m still waiting. All previous results have been within 24 hours so it is strange to still be waiting. Only difference is I had negative lft’s even though I have all symptoms. I’m not too ill so I’m currently missing work when I wouldn’t have phoned in sick if covid wasn’t around 🤷🏻‍♀️

Snap, even down to the exact timings!
BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 29/12/2021 15:39

On all previous tests I've had results within 15 hours. Tested 5pm yesterday, but am anticipating these results taking much longer due to the amount of people test atm.

Nomorecoco · 29/12/2021 15:47

My families tests last week took 4.5 days so I wouldn't be expecting it back yet.

Kara198 · 29/12/2021 18:35

My positive result has just come through, so about 32 hrs it took

Sorry to here that, I was just coming on to see if you had heard. 33 hours and waiting here

CraftyGin · 29/12/2021 18:57

My DIL had her PCR 12 noon on Tuesday and got her result overnight.

Kara198 · 29/12/2021 19:02

@Wejustdontknow fingers crossed you hear soon. Hope you're feeling ok

Not too bad thank you, my sore throat has eased so it’s mainly headache and body aches, not ill enough to stay off work unless it’s covid

SallCymru · 29/12/2021 20:18

My youngest son and I went for a PCR at 1:30 yesterday afternoon and my other son and his girlfriend went at 3:00. Both my sons have had their (positive 😔) results this morning but my son’s girlfriend and I are still waiting. So confused.

Wejustdontknow · 30/12/2021 11:40

Mine came back around 11:30 last night, negative so I’m back in work. I am not at full strength and still achy but not ill enough to take sick leave so I’m powering through

Kara198 · 30/12/2021 11:43

@Wejustdontknow glad you didn't have to wait too long and I hope you're feeling better really soon. Take it easy

GizmoIsSoFluffy · 30/12/2021 11:57

Over 3 days of waiting now. Starting to thino we'll never hear

Kara198 · 30/12/2021 12:22

@GizmoIsSoFluffy thats so frustrating especially when you know others are getting their results sooner.
Makes you wonder If the tests got lost in the system?
I have no idea why some are taking so long and others are the next day
