Hi
What was the size of the dominant follicle on day 10. Were the two ultrasounds done by the same doctor?
The fact that it was not seen on day 13 means that you have ovulated ( the follicle must have ruptured). In all probability this is the reason. So don't worry.
A small possibility is that the first ultrasound itself was wrong and that there was no dominant follicle in the first ultrasound.
See your doctor and Check for serum Progesterone on day 20-21. The result will confirm whether ovulation has occurred.
If you have any further concerns do write to me. I will be happy o answer.
