If you want to improve your test level make sure you draw blood for the test first thing in the morning, and supplement minimum 5000ui of vit D3 daily.
If you want to go TRT do it properly with a doctor guidance.
And yes, you should be able to get TRT just because you want it, women do it since the 60's...
