"I will stick with 6+ weeks, meaning my countdown begins the middle of next week."

Excuse my ignorance but do you mean we've waited the standard six weeks and your countdown means assay results at any time past the beginning of next week? I think that is what you mean, rather than you are starting a countdown for six more weeks beginning the middle of next week. Naturally I am hoping you mean when next week comes, lab results could happen at any time.
