Just wanting to have an idea on when does st Luke's normally call or when does the sputum turn positive if it is? Were halfway through and I know, it's not over until it's over. Just wanting to have an idea is all! Thank u!

They usually call the week that they stated when you started the test. You can try calling a few days before but don't expect an answer early.

They called my wife (then fiancee) at about 5 weeks and told her she was positive.

Depends on your culture, when it starts to show growth that is when the call, for some that could be the first week, for others maybe later... never know. 

 

If it never turns positive SLEC doesn't call until the end of the culture process.   This is what everyone hopes for.
