So, after doing a little more research, it seems that synthetic progesterone creams contain progestins, which can cause all kinds of bad side effects. Wild yam, on the other hand, contains a substance that is molecularly and chemically identical to progesterone, without the accompanying progestins.

Answers that question for me...looks like I'll be picking up wild yam cream and NOT progesterone cream next time I visit the herbal supplement store!
