    A week after. Got a letter though, not a phone call.

    The call was 3 weeks later as promised.

    I got a letter from the provincial government 2 months later.

    My gyno calls me two weeks after, regardless of the results.

    I get a message from my doctor 2 days after my appointment with any results.

    I got a call the very next day, as soon as they got the results. But my “abnormal” was testing positive for HPV (not the cancer-causing kind) so they wanted to get me on the schedule for a follow up to make sure it cleared up. I was in the middle of getting the vaccine so I was just glad they were keeping an eye on it.

    I have an app with my medical system, so I see results right away. But got a phone call maybe 3-5 business days later?

    It was about 3 days after. My OB was convinced I had cancer. Got me an appointment with an oncologist within 2 weeks. I did not have any signs of cancer and the oncologist walked out wondering aloud what was wrong with my OB.

    Its usually less than a week for results for my ob. My dr has an online portal so results are updated there and if they need a follow up they will call in addition to the online results.

    Wow, you all have some fast results! Here in BC Canada, 6 weeks is standard.

    Two days and I guess they were so abnormal that the clinic called me and said “your test results came back abnormal. We need you to see blah doctor. We called and made an appointment for you tomorrow. You need to be there” yeah not words you want to hear. But in the end it turned out to be okay. I just had another test done a week ago. My gyno called me yesterday to let me know that I need to do test again because something came back off. So in my case it takes about a week

    Oh, I knew pretty quickly. They let me know I’d be needing surgery.

    The dumbass doctor I saw never called. I didn’t find out it was abnormal til I went in for a case of BV a year later
