Hi Dana
Know that feeling of being overwhelmed all to well! But keep reading and it will start to come together for you I am sure.
I did a post a little while ago of the notes I made from my own investigations. Not a definitive list by any means but might give you a few thoughts.

Not putting myself forward as an expert, but can say this based on my own experience and what I have learned so far:
In the first couple of months take it easy and listen to your body and identify what suits you best. It is remarkable how differently people can respond... or not to these supplements. Oh, and take it easy. It's not a race!
To summarise what seems to be the current view is to control DHT and concentrate on aromatase, and if you really want to ramp it up a bit further to add something estrogenic.
Reishi works well for going after DHT.
WP for supporting aromatase.
PM as an estrogenic source.
Coconut oil is good for too many things to leave out. Topically and orally can be beneficial. Work up to 3 tablespoons.
Green tea should also be in the mix.
Agree with Ellie, especially as you are starting out would suggest keeping to 1000mg of PM total daily (2x 500mg). More can end up by being counter productive, though some do take more for specific effects. But this comes back to find out what works for you first and only then start adjusting your programme.
SP was very popular (and some are still getting good effects from it), but current understanding is that it can be ultimately counter productive.
Clearly there is a lot more that you could be including and in all probability you will add as your own experience grows. But suggest for now keep it simple and get a feel for how you respond. These are generally safe but negative reactions are not unknown so take it easy (or did I mention that ? ;-)
Oh, and welcome :-)
Huggy.
