I know that my doctor always calls right away if something negative comes up, so I usually go by the saying of no news is good news. It might be different w/ your doctor though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38141 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:20:39 +0000 carrieknitscake 38141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Awesome about your results!! Both my OB/GYN and GP can email results through the email system for the network. When my OB/GYN did some testing (HIV), she called me two days later with the results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38134 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:11:56 +0000 Mrsbells 38134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it depends on what they told you to expect. My OB only calls me if there is something wrong with my results. If everything is normal she goes over it with me at my next appointment. So no news = good news to me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38127 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:01:42 +0000 chopsuey 38127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: woohoo!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38124 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:00:18 +0000 winniebee 38124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAGS: @chopsuey119: @Clementine: Glad that I called - my doctor is on vacation this week so she hadn't yet seen the results! My nurse called me back though and the results were great. One less thing to worry about. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38117 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:49:44 +0000 Clementine 38117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call. My stupid lab spelled my name wrong and the results were on hold for a very long time. It never hurts to double check esp. if it's your health. I didn't call because I felt like that too, but in the end of the day, you need to be your own advocate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38100 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:36:23 +0000 chopsuey 38100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: You shouldn't feel guilty! I called them for everything. haha. I call my pediatrician whenever too! Give them a call! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38097 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:35:06 +0000 LAGS 38097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine back within a business day or two. I was told I would only be contacted if there was something wrong with it though. I would call if you're curious, but hopefully no news is just good news!</p> <p>ETA: just saw you mention they said they'd call. I would follow up for sure, don't feel guilty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38096 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:35:01 +0000 winniebee 38096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: They said they would call within a few days....and it's been more than a few days. I'm not nervous, more curious than anything else. I don't have another appt with my midwife until 12/30 so I'd prefer to know before then. Why do I always feel so guilty about calling my doctor?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38092 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:30:21 +0000 chopsuey 38092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly don't remember. I don't think I ever got a call about my blood work since everything was fine. My OB went over everything at my next appt. Said all was well.<br /> I would give them a call if you're curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-blood-testing-to-come-back#post-38061 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:11:09 +0000 winniebee 38061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last week, I had my second round of blood work in connection with the serial sequential testing we chose (genetic testing). At 12 weeks, I had an NT scan and blood draw and last week (16 weeks) had another blood draw. I had my blood draw Wednesday and haven't heard anything about my results yet (it's Tuesday now). Is that odd? I am inclined to call to see if my results are in, but I had being THAT patient. Thoughts? </p>
