Here is a list of URLs and their brief descriptions. I have tried to list them in the order that they will make the most logical sense. Please let me know if you have questions. I have been researching this subject for quite awhile now, and would love it if this information helps even one other person!

A good intro to estrogen dominance, with a good list of products to help with imbalance. I have researched a lot of these, and balanced price, practicality, etc. I've been taking the following: A B vitamin complex (with about 10-20 times the amount of B vitamins in a typical multivitamin), a Magnesium/Calcium supplement, and a DIM supplement (basically concentrated green veggies that combat excess xenoestrogens). More on progesterone cream options later.

Where you can buy progesterone cream (look for natural, but lab enhanced formula made from wild yam extract. It must be activated in the lab to have a noticeable effect). This is the brand I have been using. I am thinking of switching to a non-mineral oil formula next month for increased absorption (see next link).
