Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
It's hard to say what the rate of growth is for a polyp, but perhaps when you had the first polyp removed the second one had not progressed to a point to be detected by the ultrasound. It sounds like that is what your doctor discovered after looking at your scans.
There are some medications that may shrink uterine polyps and symptoms usually recur once you stop taking the medication.
