You should use

SQL

FETCH NEXT FROM <my_cursor>;</my_cursor>

The cursor returns a total number of rows when it fully populated. Otherwise you may get a different result. Please see @@CURSOR_ROWS (Transact-SQL)[^] for details

upd.
I suppose that you are getting this beacause of asynchronous cursor operation. So you may do the following sp_configure cursor threshold -1 to enable keysets to generate synchronously. Please refer these links for details:
