Kidney stones but not seen on ultrasound?

Hoping for some advice or insight. 3 weeks ago I developed bad pains in lower abdomen and fever. GP diagnosed kidney infection and stones based on urine test (blood and leukocytes in urine). Antibiotics helped and I passed the stone a day or later. Pretty big stone but pain was much better after. Still had some dull pain on and off in the following weeks, GP referred me for renal ultrasound.
I attended the ultrasound yesterday, they said it was all clear, no stones but I've been in excruciating pain since the ultrasound. Couldn't walk or talk, went to A&E. I just found out yesterday morning that I'm pregnant which is great news and they ruled out an ectopic. But they can't do a CT scan due to the pregnancy so they sent me home with paracetamol and told me to come back if pain doesn't improve. I was wondering if it's possible that the ultrasound would've missed kidney stones?
The pain is still here and debilitating so I'll be going back to A&E if it doesn't resolve soon. Would appreciate any advice or experience.
