Got my bloods done and my Testosterone levels are LOW. I'm working out a lot and kind of pissed Ive been doing it on "hardmode" for god knows how long, but before I take the doc up on the script I'm doing my due diligence on the realities. It seems like every article I find is either written by a trt clinic or is a one sided hit piece. So Im after some real world experiences.

Unfortunately that is not accurate. There are a variety of issues that could arrive from basic TRT. That's why it's important to get regular blood checks, so imbalances and side effects can be dealt with. Overall it's pretty safe though, as long as you are doing all of the check-ups and sticking with the program prescribed by a doctor.
