The number of decrement seems to correspond to the number of lines that do not have an equation number (I'm using the align environment and I would set the \notag flag in the lines that I do not want numbered).

create the smallest possible document you can which shows the problem. 
Often it is a good idea to take a copy of your a project to a clean 
directory and then start removing stuff until you cannot remove any more 
and still have the bug.

Often this process will reveil the cause of your problems
