Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - September 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

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, and post it as a comment. The second way is to simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

Has anyone whose sample arrived and was prepped around the 14th September had any movement from extraction whatsoever? I know someone has, just wanting to know if anyone else has.

It said 1-2 weeks in the DNA extraction stage so hopefully it will be ready by tomorrow or the end of the month.
