mono/di twins

Abigail
Ultrasound tech apparently told my OB that I'm having mono/di twins. But, when I found out I was pregnant with twins at the 12 week ultrasound, the us tech told me there was no way to tell whether of not my twins shared a placenta (because of the fact that I didn't have an ultrasound sooner). Confused as to why she told me one thing and told my doctor another thing.
Has this happened to anyone else?
The us tech mis-diagnosing the type of twins that you have?
