Genital herpes: It is possible to get these symtoms just before and outbreak or you could have a subclinical outbreak

Probably not herpes: Herpes doesn't behave like this. Recurrent outbreaks last 7-10 days, with red bumps that become blisters, then sores, then heal. Herpes lesions may burn or itch, but in the absence of visible lesions, such symptoms usually don't suggest herpes. So don't worry about herpes -- but of course see your doctor if they continue or you remain concerned.
