If it is initially decreasing, the reason might be grip slippage or some other issue during testing. If it was otherwise (increase first, then decrease, then increase) we could explain it from mechanics of materials.

Others may weigh in. It would be best if you could include the graph. It will be more accurate to answer after observing the graph.

It will be more helpful if you describe in details your test.
