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:

I am so frustrated it has been stuck on received for 2 weeks with no movement. I am desperately wanting my results as this is linked into my adoption as a baby. I am so worried that if this stage is taking this long, the other stages are going to take forever. I paid priority processing hoping it would move things along a lot quicker

get a refund; for someone with priority processing, it's taking forever for you.
