First period in a year... kinda.

H

My last official cycle was Sept 15, 2016. I started seeing some blood when I wiped on Thursday but only really that morning. Yesterday and today it's been every time I've wiped, slightly heavier today. Nothing on my pad and not really enough to wear a tampon. Is this a real period? Dumb question I know :/ if it's anything, I started Whole30 yesterday. I've been cutting back on the soda and sweets for a while.
