Jordan,
In a cycling aquaria, changes in the ammonia levels are reflected in the levels of nitrite and nitrate. If your ammonia has gone down to 3 ppm then there should be an equivalent rise in your nitrite or nitrate.
Your results are only possible if
1) your test kits are inaccurate or are old
2) you are not rinsing out the tubes well enough between tests and are getting false readings
3) you have done a massive water change, which can disrupt the cycling process and set it back further
4) matter is no longer conserved.
Also, if you have not been freaking out, you have given the appearence of it as a little earler you had the nice post written with a lot of capitals ("shouting")about how you needed help to "finish off the ammonia. This was after you had been advised that cycling can take time and you needed to be patient.
