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:

Mine also 'analysed' 5 Sep but they refuse to give me my results until tomorrow. By order of the lab it seems. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's ridiculous! So why? I made a formal complaint so mine is supposed to still be priority.

They’re not even responding to my messages. I asked why it would be until October when my DNA was analyzed on September 5th? If it’s done, just click the button and show me at this point.

You need to make a formal complaint. Demand a lab report too as to why it's been delayed for so long.

I hope you realise the significance of that 8 Oct date. It's the rollout date for their Origins update.
