They would definitely call you if there was something not quite right - they wouldn't tell you over the phone though, they would ask you to come in and see them. Then, I'm guessing, they would make sure there was an appointment time available for you. You know the saying "no news is good news"..... so it's a good thing if you don't hear anything from them - you'll be fine !!
They would have called to inform you.
if there was something wrong they would have called you, but you can call or e-mail your doctor no? they work for you.
Dont worry they would have told you, they wouldnt wait untill the next doctors visit. Just keep being persistent in finding out your results.
They'lll call if something is wrong and get you in so don't worry

The lab may not call you to tell you that they're abnormal as they usually leave it up to the doctor's office to do this. I would speak with your doctor's office about it.
Based on my experience I do not know were you are located, but here in the U.S. we do not give results over the phone UNLESS something is REALLY SERIOUS. You can still have many abnormalities on your bloodwork but you did not specify what you were tested for. If it is a routine panel they will not call you if your cholesterol/triglycerides/LDL are high. Also HIV will not be discussed over the phone but they will call you to come in for the results. So do not be stressed out hopefully everything will be alright.
