Brief Answer:
Internal examination should be done

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
IUD can lead to irregular spotting, however passage of grayish tissue is not explained.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get an internal examination done to rule out ant local lesion in cervix or vagina, and get an ultrasound done to rule out any lesion in the uterus.
Further treatment should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
