CULTURE TEST RESULT IN 7TH WEEK (SLEC)

[Chaera Aria 26]

Hello,

I wanted to know if it's okay to call SLEC on my 7th week of culture test or I really need to wait on the exact date they gave me to call.

They wanted me to call after 8weeks and 3days.

Thank you.

There is no harm in calling for your peace of mind. I did call on my 7th week then hour later they called me to inform it will be 9 weeks due to supplier issue. Will call them on the 18th, the original date they want me to call anyway cos 21st is quite late for me as I have interview on the 24th.

Thank you for commenting.

I remember you and I've read your comments from other thread about SLEC culture test.

I've known someone who got a call from SLEC exactly on her 6th week and she is negative. I wanted to try my luck also.

May I ask what time of the day you call? morning or afternoon?

Thank you once again.

Congratulations in advance.

I called around 8am in my 4th week (yes, I called.. paranoid me. haha) and easily got through. While in my 7th week, I called in the afternoon and took me more than 3 hrs, 50+ tries to get through. Waaah!

Fingers our result will be negative. It would be so lovely early Christmas gift.

I also am paranoid and tempted to call even on early weeks, Haha!

But when I read some of the posts about calling early, SLEC seemed to get angry when calling early. Haha! Can't blame them though.

I already bought a 500 load card for that since there is no available payphone here in the province.

I really hope they will give my culture test result.

Good luck to us!

Christmas is coming!!

Hurray!!!

NEGATIVE RESULT PLEEEEAAASEEE!

Total waste of time calling early. There is no peace of mind in doing this, SLEC will simply tell you to call back on the noted date.

Only time you will get any info early from SLEC is if your culture turned positive early. What you should be hoping for is to NOT hear from SLEC until the noted date, most times THAT means no TB.

True there is no harm in calling early, no benefit either, basically a total waste of time calling early.

SLEC will not give out any information early unless the culture shows the person is positive for TB.

Thank you, but I will still try. We have waited for almost a year for this k1 process already. Some I read they got negative results as early as 6th

week. It might be a waste of time but will still try my luck.

Thank you again.

IF there are negative results early, SLEC will call you early, they will not sit on that information until week 8. What you should be hoping for is NO early phone call from SLEC ... that is the good news.

Doesn't hurt to call them early. Go for it

It does harm to call early. You are taking time away from someone else who needs to get through. There is a reason why SLEC sets a timetable for the culture and they know best. If it is early they will call you. If they don't call you till the scheduled date then like Hank said, chances are good you passed. If you would like more information, then search the archives here. You will find lots and lots of discussion. This is not a race people, this is a marathon. So have patience.
