  If it's been a week then I would call just to make yourself feel better.

  Every office is different. My office said they would call either way, and some won't call unless it's abnormal. But you're allowed to call and check on the results regardless.

  My OB/GYN goes by the "no news is good news" rule. They actually don't even share the results unless they are positive or questionable.

  I work in a private practice, and the docs I work for officially use the 'no news is good news' line. HOWEVER, it is not uncommon for test results to never make it back to the office (until a secretary calls the facility to request results, and some offices do this as little as once every few months or so), so there is often a delay between when they order tests and actually see results. For my own peace of mind, I would suggest always following up with docs... But that's just me.

  I would think that it means everything is fine because if it were something serious they would have called you right away! But it would bother me to know too so I would just call so you aren't worried about it anymore!

  Good luck, I got that test done last Thursday so I will be having the same kind of week "waiting for the call"

  more than likely no news is good news.  My doc never called, just told me at my next reg appt. 

  I was told if something was abnormal I would have been called within 3 days of taking the test.

  So - I bet everything with you is just fine and dandy :-)  Yeah!! Congrats.

  I went in  a week after my blood draw  and the lab still hadn't done the work.I'd call to check but might just be that.
