I think you only get a call if they find something. But if all good then you dont hear as thats how my last one worked. Iv one tomorrow so i can double check

Thank you! Please let me know what they say 😊 I thought I’d get a letter saying all was well but it’s always changing!

Last year I waited nearly 6 months on my results

@Mich I was the same was told it should be a few weeks normally but back logs in labs it was gonna be 13weeks ended up being 5months

@Mich that is awful! I’m sure that was a stressful time!

@Glynis that’s so bad! I may hang on a bit longer by the sounds of it!

You could call your local surgery and double check but I would assume it’s like everything in the nhs understaffed and backlogs

They told me today 2-4 weeks and you hear if results are fine or if they need to refer on. Maybe as others have said it could be a backlog. Hope you hear soon

What my doctor said was - it can take a while to get results back, because if there is infection they need to send it further. I was waiting for my results for 3 months and it came back positive for infection and i need further colposcopy.
