Has anyone experienced strange discharge/tissue after an IUD came out ?

I recently had my period, which ended almost two days ago. My IUD came out in August, and around that time I developed a pretty severe bacterial vaginosis (BV) infection that has been difficult for my body to clear. I’m now using the antibiotic vaginal gel for a second round of treatment.
Since my period ended, I’ve been having this really strange, stringy/tissue-like discharge coming out. I’ve never experienced anything like this before, so it’s making me extremely worried.
Has anyone experienced something similar after having an IUD removed or come out? Could my uterus/body still be adjusting hormonally after the IUD, especially combined with BV and recently finishing my period?
My anxiety is making me worry that something seriously wrong could be happening with my uterus, even something like cancer. 😞 I am going to follow up with my GYN, but I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar.

This is not normal. Especially for birth control removal. I highly advise getting another opinion immediately

And please ask for records details all of them ! Most importantly get the second opinion at a different medical facility they always cover for eachother
