Let's be realistic and say you live to 70 years old. You self diagnose TRT and in 12 months you have the same problem. You get tests done, see a doctor/specialist/etc and discover it was actually B, C, or D causing low test instead of A that easily fixed via X, Y, or Z. Now you are stuck on TRT, and are going to spend $1000/year (approx) for the next 22 years on something you didn't actually need.
Would you rather stab yourself with a needle, twice a week, every week, for the rest of your life, or have 22 THOUSAND dollars to spend on whatever you want?
