How frustrating 😔

I have recently submitted one and it's taking ages for the hospital to get back to me with the results - hope the same doesn't happen for me.  Hope this time it works for you as feel your pain.

Well that was roughly a week and a half they took to get back to me. I thought it would be a lot longer to be honest

Here in Australia most samples are tested and  back within a week

Thanks Montykat - reason why I thought it was a long time was because I was initially told it would be the following day, heavens knows where they got that information from!  Best of luck with you and I really hope things work out.
