OPKs - Test strip or midstream format?

I'm about to purchase my first order of OPKs, tests and preseed.  So far, I have gotten to the OPKs and i'm a little confused.  Would you order the test strip version or the midstream format?  I will probably have to test at work so i don't know how handy the strip version is,  however it is a lot cheaper!  What would you guys recommend?  Also, if i get the strip version, should i order the sample collection cup?  Any helpful hints would be great!  (by the way, i might be back very soon with more questions!)

    The test strips work just fine for me, and I test at work, too.  I wouldn't bother with their cup.  I just use those regular, small Dixie bathroom cups, and they work fine.

    I use internet cheapies and then if they look like an almost positive, then I use a digital, too.

    I just "borrow" plastic cups from my office....shhh!

    I prefer the test strip version, since I could be sure all the pee got to the right place Smile  With midstream you might miss! LOL.

    I wouldn't bother with the collection cup though. Just use a cheap plastic cup you don't ever plan to drink out of again!
