How to change inappropriate adverts?

I’m so fed up with constantly seeing IVF and pregnancy adverts on mumsnet. I have to scroll past them every time I use the site.

I can’t be the only one who’s had failed IVF and miscarriage.

What do I need to do to make them go away permanently without subscribing to mumsnet? I’m happy to be spammed with other less triggering adverts 😩

Hi OP

These are actually our own videos that run on a carousel - is the one in the screenshot about IVF?

I’m on my iPhone. I can’t see an X in the top right corner to click on.

@Iusedtobedontcall I'm presuming we're talking about the same ad! If you see it again, please send us a screenshot either on here or to contactus@mumsnet.com along with the URL of the page you saw it on. Thank you.

I have seen it yesterday but not today so great news if it’s gone.

Hello @St3amtrain we're so sorry that you've been upset by some ads. Can we check if you're seeing Google choices ads? You'll know it's one of those if there's an x in the top right corner. If you click on this x then you shouldn't see ads from that campaign again. If you think an ad is unsuitable for a particular board, please let us know. Thank you.

@Iusedtobedontcall that ad should no longer be showing. Have you seen it recently? We're sorry that you've been upset.

The Down’s syndrome one is really really upsetting and triggering for me as I had a TFMR for Trisomy 21 last month and the ad seems to taunt me.

Yeah, same! Infertility/IVF and multiple miscarriages means a pregnancy bump or baby pic is really upsetting, a physical jolt of pain. I’m here for the infertility boards so don't see why these ads should torment me.

I’d love to be able to stop specific adverts.
