Physiologic: It is common to find a physiologic amount of free fluid in the pelvis (especially in women). Nothing to be concerned about.

May be nothing: Small amount of free fluid in pelvis is common nonspecific finding, especially in women. Generally not of concern in absence of other findings. Can be related to ovulation, cysts, etc.
