I've only had plex once (during a crisis). My understanding when discussing it with the nurses who were doing the work was that most people build up to having it last a month or more. Frequently when people are starting out with it they last much shorter lengths of time between exchanges. I doubt there is anything that you can do to make them last longer in the short term except the normal "take care of yourself and don't do to much". But you may want to talk to the nurse/technician who is doing your plex and see if they have any suggestions on how to make it last longer between exchanges.
Best of luck
