Preliminary Bloodwork - TRT?

New here, I posted an intro in another thread. I'm 52 years old, with decades of weight lifting history. No experience with testosterone though. Really noticed some typical low test symptoms starting last summer. Blew off, but now I'm sick of being exhausted and the brain fog.

Attached are my first round of blood tests. (Home test from LetsGetChecked). I'm still very early in thi process, trying to figure out where to go from here. My prolactin levels are pretty high, I may need to check with my doctor about an MRI to make rule out prolactinoma on my pituitary gland.

I live in a very rural small town (700 people) in the United States. I have insurance, but it appears to only cover implants. Not real keen on that idea. Plus, if I end up needing testosterone, I may as well take advantage of it IMO.

I have no idea what level I should be at, but the nurse I spoke to said I'm definetly low.

Do I go to my Primary realizing I'm likely only going to be approved for pellets?

Should I just check into an online clinic like Defy or similar?

I could theoretically self medicate, but legally not sure I want to mess around.

Sorry if this post is a little all over, I have a lot of questions and still unsure what the heck I'm doing at this point.
