Not enough information. But if that is all there is, then "no".

Bleeding is more about the platelets. You can bleed easier for two reasons related to platelets: 1) low quantity, 2) poor quality (too smooth to clot well enough). For some people the CML causes poorer quality in the platelets. But neither of the reasons are a reliable indicator of drug response or loss of drug response.
