I am waiting for results of a smear test I had on 9th July, still no news. Doctor told me they would write to me.
Any ideas anyone?

I'm trying to gear myself up to go get one.

I had a letter in this morning, reminding me & it said on that I should know the results within 6 weeks.

doc told me around 6 weeks for result, got letter back within 4

Mine was done in March, result came through last week

I'd forgotten all about it, tbh!

Mine was about 7 weeks. The results were sent to GP surgery and then forwarded so if you call you may find out when they expect them.

It depends where you live, but can be up to 3 months.

Maybe I will call surgery tomorrow. Doctor said it would come direct to me, but I suppose they send it to doc first.

It seems so long to wait for a result, 3 months. I guess it can depend on where you live and how many tests they are doing.

I'm always told to wait 10 weeks.

Thanks, at least I know it can take a while for a result.
