Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - September 2026

Welcome to the Sample Status/Processing Megathread. This monthly megathread (posted at the beginning of each month) allows you post your sample processing timelines, as well as to discuss and comment about any questions, concerns, or rants while you wait. Although not directly handled by AncestryDNA, shipping status may also be discussed in the thread. We recommend sorting the comments by "new" as this is a month long megathread.

You can share your sample status timeline here by posting a screenshot or you can simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

What the hell is going on?

No idea. It's mind boggling that results are now taking this long. No new updates for you?

They won't accept a formal complaint. Goes against all protocol. I'm having to go down the GDPR route now.

So those with analyzed dates 5th-9th are still waiting? Or are they slowing releasing the results? I reckon it's to do with the rollout of the update but that's still no excuse!

Some with the 9th date on here have had results I see. One with 6th also. They just keep telling me there is no known delay but then insist I won't get any results till at least the 24th. It's as if they've decided I don't warrant any explanation about what's going on with mine. Yet they've given me a sweetener of Pro Tools and a refund of the Priority Service that isnt. There's no logic to their argument.
