They know the results that day, but then the tech has to have the dr "officially" sign off on it. I just looked at DHs the other day. There are some complex equations they use to come up with the #s. Even with a 5% morphology they say normal cause he had like 228 million swimmers :) over-achiever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374816 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 21:37:01 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1374816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: partly lab slowness, partly the actual test. Our results took a week I think (in Ontario, too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374766 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 21:12:23 +0000 mrswin 1374766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I'm in Canada too and they told us it would be 7-10 days but my doctor actually had them back within a couple of days. I know from all the SA's we have had at this point that they actually have to run the tests within an hour of getting the sample for it to be accurate, mostly just processing the reporting is what takes forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374681 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:25:03 +0000 pui 1374681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I think it's probably a mixture! I hope you get the results back soon and that they look good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374676 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:24:09 +0000 pui 1374676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I'm good, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374675 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:24:03 +0000 babycanuck 1374675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good info to know. I thought they were just sitting on it - typical Canadian labs, but now I'm learning that they are actually looking for things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374673 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:23:31 +0000 FaithFertility 1374673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: How are you?????? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374672 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:23:08 +0000 FaithFertility 1374672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They also see how long they live.....I think our results were after 4-5 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374670 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:22:42 +0000 pui 1374670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's just health care being slow as usual. It took around a week for us to get our SA results back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374641 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:06:12 +0000 swedishfish 1374641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I'd say it was about 4-7 days both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374639 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:04:43 +0000 babycanuck 1374639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: The lab told him 10 days, my doctor said about 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374638 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:03:35 +0000 swedishfish 1374638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long does it take to get results near you? We got DH's results within a few days. They're also checking to see if the shape is normal, how long the sample takes to liquefy, the volume, etc. DH did it twice and the report was a page long each time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374631 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:00:12 +0000 Crystal 1374631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but wanted to say I am so happy you were able to get the testing done. FX for good results! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sa-testing#post-1374624 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:58:16 +0000 babycanuck 1374624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a really really stupid question.</p> <p>I know when SA is done they are looking to see how fast those swimmers are and how many there are...but why does it take so long to get results? what are they looking for?? </p>
