Okay, I am going to be 37 next month, and I have pcos. I also have a daughter 11 turning 12 next month as well, every once and a while we will notice she's bloated, moody and what not, she has not gotten a period yet, but here's my question.

I have had a history of irregular periods, well this time I have gotten my period for the 3rd time In a month. Could this mean my daughter is about to get her period?
Or could I be starting early menopause? Or something else wrong with me?

Your daughter is at an age where her period can start anytime. Hormone changes can cause "pms" to go on for awhile! If she has already shown signs of maturing... some breast development and hair growth for example, periods are often next in the line up.

Your bleeding could be peri menopause... a bit early, but not unheard of, but it is may also have to do with PCOS. If it continues, it would be wise to get checked as there are other possible reasons for irregular bleeding that continues, polyps for example.
