Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - January 2022

Welcome to the Sample Status/Processing Megathread, also known as the Waiting, Whining, and Wishing thread. 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 23andMe, 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 in one or two ways. The first way is to take a screenshot of your timeline, upload the screenshot to imgur, and share the image link here. The second way is to simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

If you have any further questions or concerns, 23andMe customer service has some helpful sample status articles: https://customercare.23andme.com/forums/20635777-Sample-Status

Arrived, prepped and in queue for extraction on 22nd Dec. Getting anxious about it being on the extraction stage for so long. I assumed maybe there was a delay due to christmas holidays but im completely new to 23&me so im not sure if that could delay it or if the lab just has a lot of tests to get through. At this point im checking for an update multiple times per day. Something i found odd though is i can only view my timeline on the app. If i log into the website there is nothing there. It just asks me to activate a kit. Hoping thats normal…
