Not likely but US exams are very operator sensitive. That means differs examiners may see or miss things another does not. Unless you are on birth control pills or have had prior problems the pretest probability of having a DVT is low. Discuss again with your Drs.

Im a hypochondriac. When I get up from sitting down, I have a twinge type tenderness on the top of my calf. After I take a few steps/walk it off it goes away. No redness or swelling. Terrified of dvt, but just went to the doctor for something else?
