Can internal ultrasounds miss polyps/masses?

Hi, 

feel very anxious and worried. And feel bad as I haven't been diagnosed.

my story in short.
Bleeding heavily on and off (mainly on) since November 2020 to present date. Pain near belly button and to the left. 

Had ultrasound showed - two polyps.

Had vaginal  scan showed - NO polyps and all clear.

im quite confused the scans were done with 14 days apart. 
My question is can a internal ultrasound miss polyps or a mass? 
TIAxxx
